he Intel RealSense Depth Camera D435i extracts 3D information from a scene to let developers add 3D depth to robotics navigation, object recognition, and other applications. It is a USB-powered depth camera and features a pair of depth sensors, an RGB sensor, and an infrared projector. This D435i version includes inertial 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) measurement data for enhanced accuracy. The D435i is an indoor/outdoor solution designed to best fit developers’ prototypes. It has a wide field of view and global shutter combination that offers accurate depth perception when an object is moving or a device is in motion, and it covers more area, minimizing blind spots. This camera comes with a mini tripod and a USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable.

Stereo Depth
Stereo image sensing technologies use two cameras to calculate depth. Intel RealSense stereo depth technology brings 3D to devices and machines that only see 2D. Designed for easy setup and portability, the RealSense D435 features long-range capabilities and high depth resolution and includes active infrared (IR) stereo. The D435 is a wide field of view solution using global shutter sensors. The wide view/global shutter combination makes the D435 ideal for applications such as robotic navigation and object recognition. The wider field of view allows a single camera to cover more area, resulting in less blind spots. The global shutter sensors provide great low-light sensitivity, allowing robots to navigate spaces with the lights off.
